SEC Rule 17a Compliance
Offsite Data Protection for Electronic Communications Ensures Compliance

Regulatory compliance has emerged in recent years as one of the most challenging issues facing businesses. From SEC Rule 17a to Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA, numerous legislative requirements have been introduced that dictate how electronic data is stored, retrieved and recovered.

Organizations failing to meet these new regulatory mandates face significant penalties including large fines and prison sentences, not to mention incalculable damage to corporate reputation.

NetMass specializes in the offsite protection of data and electronic communications such as emails, memos and other internal communications, essential proof for defending against litigation. NetMass solutions keep this information safe and accessible, as required by the Securities and Exchange Act Rules 17a-3, 4 (17 CFR 240.17a-3, 4) of the United States.

For most companies, the first question concerning these new regulations is how to comply in a way that is economical and not too burdensome to implement.

NetMass online backup and recovery solutions were designed to help manage organizational risks while providing immediate compliance with regulations such as SEC, SOX, GLBA, NASD and IDA.

NetMass solutions leverage the efficiencies of the internet to allow companies to quickly deploy an automated backup system that centralizes the backup of organization-wide data to secure, offsite data centers. There, it is stored and accessed in strict compliance with U.S. government regulations (read case study).

Organizations deploying remote data protection find that rather than being a drag on their resources, compliance results in an upgraded data backup infrastructure that has tangible benefits in the way their company stores, accesses and recovers critical information.

The NetMass service automatically and continuously backs up the data on business servers and computers via a secure internet connection, and then stores data in encrypted format at an offsite data center facility where it is available for immediate recovery when needed. The service offers data recovery, system repair, file sharing and data archiving features.

The NetMass service protects data from inadvertent or willful deletion, alteration, or destruction of relevant information. NetMass remote data protection offers reliable backup, multiple levels of data security, and rapid, on-demand restores, all without any investment in new storage equipment or resources. And it is highly scalable as new data is generated.

Businesses with multiple branch offices and sites that have particularly difficult backup needs, benefit from the NetMass service with seamless protection of their data. Administrators maintain total control over the backup/recovery process for a wide variety of operating environments and devices, including servers, workstations, desktops and laptops.

Hard-coded security ensures safe data transfer and storage, and information lifecycle management allows you to protect data in the most convenient AND economical way throughout its life.

Secure. Reliable. Automatic.
